Imphal, July 23 2025: Naga Students' Organisation (NSO) has condemned provocative act of aggression by KIA on Naga army.

In a release, NSO information & publicity secretary Yapho Konyak said the most alarming incident occurred on July 18, 2025, when KIA forces, in a heavily armed and calculated operation, outnumbered the Naga armies and captured 18 Naga army personnel along with their weapons at Chanra Gate, in the Naga ancestral region west of the Danai River, nearby Talu and Lungyone villages.

This blatant act of hostility has shocked the entire Naga nation, it said.

Questioning whether this is a new declaration of war by the Kachins on the Naga people, the secretary wondered whether the Kachins are now testing the patience and restraint of the Nagas.

NSO condemned in the strongest possible terms such provocative acts of aggression by the KIA and demanded immediate and unconditional release of all the Naga personnel and their confiscated arms.

Any further delay or harm inflicted will be viewed as a direct escalation of conflict, he added.

"This message must ring loud and clear to all the Kachins and to all Nagas within and beyond Imposed borders of the East West North and South: that should the current Kachin aggression continue, the Kachins alone will be held hilly responsible for any future unrest or breakdown of peace between the Nagas and the Kachins", Yapho Konyak remarked.

"The Nagas, bound by ancestral duty and national pride, will no longer tolerate repeated assaults on our dignity, freedom, or sovereignty.

The Nagas are not at fault.

It will be the Kachins, through the actions of the KIA, who have chosen a path of confrontation," he cautioned, adding that the unity and strength of the Naga people rise in proportion to the injustices inflicted upon them.

If pushed beyond their limit, they will respond-not in weakness, but in righteous defence.

The release expressed hope the Kachin leadership will correct its course and further added that peace will not come at the cost of their people s blood or betrayal of their cause.
